Published October 03, 2008 12:58 pm - P.M. UPDATE: OSU to teach carcass disposal For years, large animal carcass disposal has been a problem. Not only are livestock producers limited on options, it also can be costly.
The Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service is hosting a Large Animal Carcass Composting Field Day on Oct.14 at the Haskell County Fair Barn in Stigler. The barn is on the south side of the road after turning east off of Okalhoma 9 onto Old Military Road. Research funded by an Extension Team Initiative Program grant has provided Oklahoma livestock producers with a safe, economical alternative for livestock carcass disposal. The field day, which is free and open to anyone interested in the environmentally friendly solution, will kick off at noon with lunch. The basics of carcass composting will be discussed, as well as various methodologies, Oklahoma State University mortality composting research data and a tour at 1:30 p.m. of field demonstration compost plots in Whitefield. Those interested in attending the Large Animal Carcass Composting Field Day are asked to pre-register with the Haskell County Extension Office at 967-4330, no later than Oct. 10.
